2008年考研英語(yǔ)模擬試題三及答案解析

  Text 4

  Nancy Casey was born in Chicago, Illinois, and left when she was three years old. Her family moved to Iowa and lived on 900 acres of farmland, where Nancy trained horses and ponies and helped raise all kinds of farm animals. Nancy loved animals then, and still has a big place in her heart for them. She currently has two Siamese cats, Misha and Iman. At sixteen years old, Nancy's family moved to California and Nancy became a big city girl. The public was very aware at the uncanny resemblance between the two divas, and Nancy was discovered as Liz at age eighteen.

  In high school, Nancy was quite popular. She was a cheerleader, a school princess, she took tap, jazz, ballet and played basketball. Her junior year, she met her high school sweetheart and was married a year after graduation. At the time, she was offered a screen test from Warner Brothers films, but Nancy decided marriage was the more important choice.

  [an error occurred while processing this directive]
  Nancy studied interior design at UCLA, and worked as a contract designer doing commercial work for restaurants, hotels and homes. Her interest in design took her to places like Paris and France to study art and architecture. Along the way, she had also worked as a legal secretary in law firms, but her most interesting work has been as the Elizabeth Taylor LOOKALIKE.

  In 1988, a friend of Nancy's suggested that she send in her photo to a celebrity LOOKALIKE agent. She was immediately called as Liz for corporate functions. The timing couldn't have been more perfect. At the time, Liz was in the public eye with a new fragrance, book and husband. Work poured in for Nancy.

  Nancy does not mistake her own identity and that of her character Liz. Since Nancy has looked like Elizabeth Taylor her whole life, she has become accustomed to being stared at, or mistaken for the star. However, Nancy says that working as a LOOKALIKE has given her the opportunity to feel what it must be like to be a celebrity for a day. LOOKALIKE work has also helped her to play the role. Working in this field has brought many new and wonderful things to Nancy's life. She is grateful to the friends she has met, places she has traveled to and the opportunity to get a glimpse into the entertainment world of film, television and performing.

  Nancy recalls the time she met her inspiration. She's a true survivor, her compassion for others in need, her loyalty, her unique and full life while always in the public eye and her ability to cope with judgment and scrutiny, is amazing, to say the least. I have met her briefly and found her to be very earthy, with a great sense of humor. She's a very tiny woman for the great amount of clout and power that she possesses.

  Nancy feels her similarities to Elizabeth are a gift. Nancy has worked almost fulltime as a celebrity LOOKALIKE for film, television, print, commercials and on the corporate circuit. As a professional actress she has appeared on numerous television shows such as The Joan Rivers Show, Entertainment Tonight, Dream On, Hard Copy and Inside Edition. Her film credits include Dave, Postcards from the Edge, Sister Act H and Repossessed.

  36.It can be known from this passage that Nancy

 。跘] changed her name

  [B] misses the horses on the Iowa farmland

 。跜] has two cats with similar looks

  [D] has a strong affection for animals

  37.Which of the following is true according to the passage?

  [A] Nancy once turned down a film producer's invitation.

 。跙] Nancy regards marriage the most important thing.

 。跜] Nancy never engages herself in advertising.

 。跠] Nancy wrote an autobiography.

  38.It can be inferred from the passage that Taylor 

 。跘] never got married all her life[B] married at least twice

  [C] got divorced in 1988[D] got divorced at least twice

  39.What does the phrase “play the role” in the 5th paragraph probably mean?

 。跘] Being a celebrity.[B] Being a look alike.

 。跜] Being an actress.[D] Playing a role in a film.

  40.Nancy's comment on Taylor is one of

 。跘] flattery[B] contempt[C] appreciation[D] depreciation

 Part B
  Sample One

  In the following text, some sentences have been removed. For Questions 4145, choose the most suitable one from the list AG to fit into each of the numbered blanks. There are two extra choices, which do not fit in any of the blanks.Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1.(10 points)

  Americans wear black for mourning. Chinese wear white. Westerners think of dragons as monsters. Chinese honor them as symbols of God. Chinese civilization has often shown such polarities with the West, as though each stands at extreme ends of a global string. 41)

  His findings go far toward explaining why American cultures seem so contentious and Chinese cultures so passive, when compared to each other. More importantly, the research opens the way for the peoples of the East and the West to learn from each other in fundamental ways. 42)said Kaiping Peng, a former Beijing scholar, who is now a UC Berkeley assistant professor of psychology.

  “Americans have a terrible need to find out who is right in an argument,” said Peng. “The problem is that at the interpersonal level, you really don't need to find the truth, or may be there isn't any.” Chinese people, said Peng, are far more content to think that both sides have flaws and virtues, because they have a holistic awareness that life is full of contradictions. They do far less blaming of the individual than do Americans, he added.

  In studies of interpersonal argument, for example, when subjects were asked to deal with contradictory information stemming from conflict between a mother and a daughter or a student and a school, Peng found that Americans were “noncompromising, blaming one side—usually the mother— for the causes of the problems, demanding changes from one side to attain a solution and offering no compromise” in dealing with the conflict.
